The National Consolidation Party (NKP) is a conservative political party in Werania. It is currently the largest party in the country. The NKP is a member of the Alliance of Conservatives and Democrats for Euclea (ACDE). A centre-right party, the NKP is seen as more socially conservative and economically interventionist than other parties within the ACDE. The NKP was founded as a merger of the Conservative Party (KP), National Liberal Party (NLP) and the Catholic Social Party in 1957 by KSP Chairman and Chancellor Konstantin Vogel. The three parties - representing monarchist conservatism, classical liberalism and Sotirian democracy respectively - had represented mainstream right-wing politics in Werania having all been at some point dominant in Weranian politics since the country's unification in 1842.

The NKP served in government from its foundation in 1954 to 1963 when under Adolf Stahl it lost government to a coalition of the left-wing opposition. It returned to government in 1970 when it would rule for nine years under three different Chancellors - Sigmar Welskopf-Henrich, Johannes Zollitsch and Albrecht Spaemann. In 1979 after economic difficulties the NKP would enter opposition for a 20 year period as it became the rival of the governing party, the Social Democratic Radical Party of Werania. During this period in opposition the NKP would become incredibly divided between its traditional Sotirian democratic faction and a new right faction focused more on right-wing populism and economic liberalism. In 1999 the NKP under moderate leader Rasa Šalaševičiūtė led the NKP to a victory against the SRPO. In 2007 she led the NKP to a coalition government before resigning in 2009. Her successor Dietrich Wittmann was unable to gain re-election placing it back into opposition. In 2015 Otto von Hößlin became NKP leader. He has under the influence of deputy leader Jörg Bullmann moved the party to the populist right, supporting economic nationalism, social conservatism and soft-Euclescepticism. In 2019 the party became the largest in the Volkstag and is expected to form the next government of Werania. (See more...)
